3 claims. (o1. 23a- 1) My present invention relates to waste receptacles and more particularly to a boxl receptacle having a replacement element designed to provide greater convenience in the collection and disposal of waste. I-Iitherto there has been some diiiiculty in providing both in the home and in the oice a waste receptacle which collects waste material and at the same time packs it in a compact fashion ready for disposal. Or if such a result were achieved it engendered some little inconvenience in so doing.

With these diiiiculties in mind I have designed a simple box receptacle to be fastened to the wall at any desirable spot which will be easily accessible, will pack the waste in a compact fashion and which can when full be emptied in an extremely simple manner.

vThe principal object of my invention therefore, is an improved waste receptacle; y

Another object of my invention `is a waste receptacle having a replacement element therein to facilitate handling of waste material; v

Still another object of my invention is a receptacle which can be used for various classes of waste, such as paper, offal, and the like;

Other objects and novel features comprising the construction and operation of my invention will appear as the description progresses.

In the drawing illustrating my preferred embodiment,

Fig. 1 is a plan view of box receptacle with cover raised showing cylindrical interior;

Fig. 2 is a vertical cross-section taken through the line 2--2 of Fig. 1;

Fig. 3 is a similar cross-section taken on the line 2-2 showing the receptacle about to be emptied.

Referring to the drawing, 10 indicates a rectangular box having a top 11 opening upwards and a bottom l2 opening downwards, 13 is a frame member resting on and forming the top of the box. It is not attached tothe box but may be withdrawn from it. Upon the inner sides of frame 13 is constructed a supporting section as 14 upon which rests a flat lcontinued portion of the hollow cylinder 15; 16 indicates a'cylin-V Y adapted to open downwardly, said bag member the top is reached. Bottom cover 12 is theny opened and the mass of waste inthe cylinder 15 is pushed downward as shown in Fig. 3, thereby forcing cylinder 16 out of the box which receives the waste as it leaves.

It is to be noted that cylinder 16 can be con- 60 structed of a material suitable to the substance Vwhich it is to contain. For example, in waste f paper disposal a standard paper bagof the size used in all chain stores can be readily utilized as the cylinder in question precludes the necessity of retaining the cylindrical portion in the disposal of said waste.

It will be apparent that I have designed a novel and inexpensive receptacle for the collection of waste material. I would further draw attention 7-0 to the fact that my invention is not limited in size or in the type of material composingthe cylindrical element .therein while continuing to adhere to the spirit of the invention.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new,`is:

1. A waste receptacle comprising a housing member, a rigid cylindrical support member suspended within said housing member, a flexible member telescopically disposed about the said support member, the said housing member provided with a pivoted top cover element adapted to open upwardly and a pivoted self-lockingv ooring element adapted to open downwardly,` the said flexible member adapted to seat on said flooring member.

2. In a waste receptacle, a housing member provided with a pivoted cover, a pivoted selflocking flooring element and an insert top portion, a rigid supporting sleeve member having its upper periphery recessed within said insert top portion and the said sleeve suspended thereby in said housing member, a flexible bag member telescopically disposed about said sleeve member and adapted to have its bottom seat on the said flooring element, said flooring element adaptedv to drop downward and allow the telescopic removal of the bag member therethrough.

Y3. In a waste receptacle, a rectangular housing member, said housing member containing a hollow cylindrical sleeve member vertically suspended therein, a cylindrical bag member telescopicallyr disposed about the said sleeve member, a pivoted flooring for said housing member 105 adapted to pass downwardly and receive. matter contained in said sleeve.
